I have to admit, I went the gumtree route because I hope to renovate and refurbish in the near future.

:rotfl:...yep I should add I had just moved from a rented flat with a 20+year old fridge, so I guess my experience is making me slightly biased here.

I think I'm bit of a brand snob.

I do like new appliances despite buying clothes and other stuff used from eBay.

Vacuum will be a dyson. TV Samsung.

So what are good quality and reasonable priced brands for standalone cookers, washers and fridge freezers, buying new?

I'm sure Bosch came top in WHICH for washers

A Meile washer would beat Bosch every time anyway gas or electric cooker, what size too as many of the better options don't do the 60cm range, if 60cm and gas, I would say Cannon/Hotpoint, if electric more choice, Smeg, Electrolux, Zanussi Hotpoint.

Fridges are simple so paying loads doesn't get you much more, start with Miele and work down to a price point you want to pay.

Seen a nice cheap Lec fridge freezer on ao for 180 and nice smart black Samsung microwave for 70. Not going to lose sleep over a slightly more expensive microwave

cooker is gas. I need to get dimensions of existing space.
Only issue is that there will or may be a slightly unsightly gap between the cooker and one of the neighbouring storage cupboards :rotfl:

Miele are £££ for washers. Zanussi seem cheaper and higher spins than Bosch. ..so that's leading contender there!

If Gas 60cm, then this is, in my opinion, the only option...

Clearly not a brand snob then :eek:

Go see them, you'll soon change your mind...I didn't say there weren't cheaper options, the quality of a cheap cooker is crap, buy any of those you'll be thankful for that large gap at the side of the cooker, to stop your cabinets burning

Snob with vacuum tv and microwave

Need to compromise elsewhere

Bit concerned about my cheap cooker now! Guess I could stretch passed 200 a bit but definitely no where near 500 plus. .
